<p>Is there a particular reason that CommonApp asks about the highest degree that you intend to earn. Does that weigh into the admission descision/Does one answer look better than the rest?</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>Well, it’s not really the commonapp itself. It’s more the Future Plans section which is specific to each school. Whatever answer you put will never affect your application negatively. I assume it’s for schools to keep track of statistics, and just get a better picture of the applicant.</p>
<p>For example, if you have a lot of activities and involvement relating to law and the legal field, it would make sense for the college to know that you are applying as X major, but ultimately plan to attain a J.D. </p>
<p>If that makes any sense</p>
<p>…I was wondering this, too. I just put “Undecided” for every school. Is that bad?</p>
